Finally, your baby has arrived! You now get to cuddle for an hour or two after waiting so long.

This has been a protocol in most hospitals and now NYS has asked all Maternity units to include holding and cuddling as part of infant care.

Last month we performed the first total knee replacement with our Mako Robot. The incredible precision of Mako technology benefits our patients with a truly custom fit for their joint replacements. Dr. David Lent, who recently completed his training on this technique with the MAKO Robot, performed the first full knee replacement at the Westchester Orthopedic Center, Dobbs Ferry Pavilion.
